GCL-0606 Φ12.7 Quartz Multiple-Order Waveplates

This GCL-0606 quartz multi-order waveplate group contains ten online SKUs with quarter-wave or half-wave configurations. Each card identifies its own nominal wavelength from 488, 514.5, 532, 632.8, 780 or 1064 nm. Models with different retardance at the same wavelength retain separate selection descriptions. Model suffixes are not decoded into specifications, and separate nominal wavelengths are not combined into a continuous operating range. The φ12.7 notation lacks a dimension unit and diameter definition, so the source value is retained for confirmation. The descriptions also identify missing thickness, accuracy, coating, clear aperture, axis and clamping data. English artwork follows the unmounted circular-disc appearance rather than providing an exact mechanical drawing.

Retardance and model pairing

The ten models explicitly state quarter-wave or half-wave retardance and their corresponding wavelengths in nm. Quarter-wave and half-wave models at the same wavelength are distinct configurations and are not merged because their photographs look alike. Each wavelength is a nominal model value, not a continuous bandwidth or an arbitrary-wavelength compatibility guarantee.

Quartz multi-order configuration

The source explicitly identifies quartz multi-order waveplates. Each SKU is described as quarter-wave or half-wave as shown on its own card. It is not reclassified as zero-order, air-spaced or polymer. Exact order, retardance accuracy, crystal axis, thickness and temperature response are absent and are not inferred from model suffixes.

φ12.7 and appearance reference

The series and SKU cards state φ12.7 without a dimension unit or a definition of outside diameter, optic diameter or clear aperture. Millimeters are not added. Shared photography shows two unmounted blue circular discs with pink edges. It does not establish coating, transmission or package quantity, nor provide engineering data for thickness or axis markings.

Selection and delivery checks

Confirm model, required retardance, operating wavelength, beam size, incidence conditions, mechanical clamping and damage requirements. The source offers custom sizes, which does not add stocked SKUs. Confirm coating, clear aperture, inspection, cleaning, accessories, supplied quantity and current stock. The source lists 2–7 days for dispatch; verify actual delivery separately.
